I'd say that's the first time a performer brought his Bible and read it at the Opry.

[@gamenrage5998]

What is amazing is that the whole audience feel the same way and sing right along with him because he is what we are in the heart, and we all want to be herd we are a nation of people who love our nation and want to save it.

[@TananJess]

I love what this man stands for, makes a stand a REAL inspiration with strong belief to not let the money make him, respect all the way.

[@cookie_editz1434]

Protect this man at all cost ❤

[@fanglymew8101]

You nailed it with your song that spoke to so many working class people. I watched Willie Nelson struggle for years before getting recognized. At 81 years old I have seen and heard so many of our great singer songwriters of country music. Hope your career iscas successful. Never forgetvyour roots!

[@jillipepper5353]

People are so desperate to find someone truthful to believe in, some people see that and use it to enrich themselves, so far this man is trying to keep the users at bay and stay true to us all. I pray he can withstand the temptation and keep to the strait and narrow to give us hope. 🙏🏼

[@freidahaley2275]

People love you because you are REAL and your music tells the TRUTH!!! Stand firm!!!!

[@BradLeonard-sq6og]

Amen

[@EvilSnipa]

That drinking and hard times is where all great music comes from

[@GreenManGrowing]

William Montgomery aint never gonna stop singing country music.

[@user-hx7wn9bk4r]

[@lukefisher7176]

Those who get it get it.

[@lkw911news9]

The song rich men north of Richmond" is a message is a Powerful, Righteous Anger Political God sent Message, and that's what people need right now , it give light and hope where Despair and desperation are. SO don't deny them that, and they need more of it. The people need hope they need somebody to hear them even if it's through you. God watch over you, brother, Many blessings to you. And his angels protect you and keep you strong and away from the devils drink and drugs. May he shine his light upon you. May his words flow through you with the fountain of life, And through you bring strength and shine upon THE WORLD FOR THE GLORYOF GOD . Amen, all glory be to God ALMIGHTY 🙏

[@starnevaeh234]

Oliver Anthony I love you and what you STAND FOR!! Your fan from Tennessee. Stay real!! You blow my mind w that voice that God gave you. I feel that you know that. I am waiting on a gospel song.

[@1CathyHendrix]

So happy for you! You are an amazing young man. Your faith in God just shines through in your words. You have made your fellow Virginians very proud.

[@starnevaeh234]

And Tennessee 🌙 amazing ❤

[@themanironmask]

Very humble guy and obviously extremely talented. Wishing him well

[@lambertsaldi1550]

Oliver! You are true to your Heart ❤ God bless you 🙏 You are a true American patriot for sure 👍🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸👍 the world would be a better place with more folk like you mr!! Thank you!! The Vermonter

[@user-qe3zz4ur5l]

I was there this night! It was an AMAZING SHOW!!! I got to see him backstage but didn’t get to say hello. It’s for sure on my list to have a photo with him. 🧡

[@loutorres1965]

I’ve been following you on KZbin for 7 months. It was a blessing and surprise when you were playing at the Opry on our first time being there as well. God bless you.

[@nman7044]

“I hope people take out of it is the message of it all” brother the message is loud and clear…we love you and stay true to yourself and the rest will, not fall because it already has, but stay in place!!!

[@ennacs4608]

Greetings from Germany!

[@kati2224]

It makes my heart smile knowing there are still some good old boys who just want to sing and play, and not do all the hub bub surrounding a music career. You give us hope ... we all need that right now. I love how you put into music what we all feel at one time or another. You are real. PLEASE stay real. And true to yourself. This is your journey brother... we are just enjoying the truth in your songs. Thank you for showing this old woman that there is still good out there. You do country music proud... !!!! Love hearing that cry in your voice and the sound of that dobro.. all ya need is a steel guitar and we are in business hahaha. Nah, keep it simple.. makes it easy and more enjoyable. But, as a dog lover.. I think you need to bring the puppers on stage with ya.. every where ya go. They are so sweet.

[@christophercottrell8227]

To be the best you can be, you have to be humbled first. When you respect the hard work you put into something, then you are humbled. I spent hours upon hours in the gym to lose 100 lbs, after my wife passed away. Respecting all the hard workouts humbled me. When you realize the drugs or the alcohol were the reason why you made those bad decisions, you have to be humbled to put that bottle away. I realized I’m not able to drink like a responsible drinker, it humbled me. July 4th will be 7 yrs without alcohol.

[@candicenicolesmith8579]

Your amazing! That's great your song is my most favorite song because it speaks the truth. Man this makes me tear up

[@LindaAllen2129]

I truly hope you can come back soon for a show. Your music comes from your heart. You are a unique standout gift. Than You 🙏🏼🎶🙏🏼

[@TonyOlivieri-hu2iv]

Chris, we the people have great respect for you, we will support you!! Thank you for speaking up on our behalf!!!!

[@user-yc1ig2cz3h]

I agree with the comment, but no place to type mine, so I place it here. I just wanted to say you are reaching so many age groups. I hope you know that very few people can accomplish such a range.

[@fishinak4life828]

Love you man can’t wait to see you when you come to the last frontier in Alaska for our state fair

[@davidcruze111]

Every country music star should've been in attendance.

[@user-sn6gr9wb4p]

Uniqueness is what I love.. how you take us with you.. thank you w)❤ from NH

[@annamcdearmond19]

What a honor, I'm happy for him

[@Harmons1981icloud]

My grandparents played there alot wish i could have watched them play there but got lot of great memorys so many front porch jam sessions much ❤

[@jimadams3631]

Love ya man! I know you like the guys playing with you, but you are so much more powerful singing and playing by yourself. God’s speed and keep telling the message.

[@user-zd8sx1cl2t]

Moonlight through winter Summer sunshine My dog and the rivers On my mind

[@jessicaschimmel7398]

Most certainly the message comes through!

[@HendrixRipoff]

Well done man

[@jesij.3943]

I cannot wait to meet you some day! You are truly an inspiration!

[@paulhale929]

Well said. We are completely connected. Raw and so full of truth. Tanks to all of you.

[@ravendragonsong5842]

And we are so grateful for you Chris don't change baby you are perfect ❤❤❤

[@kt9166]

Chris, we are so proud of you here in Virginia. You seem to have your head on straight now, after a lot of ups and downs, like all of us. Come see us at the Pavilion in Portsmouth if you can. In the meantime, I've put in for a physical CD of your first album. I want to hold it in my hand and say, this is Chris' music. He's our Virginian.

[@nonamemanson]

So proud of you man, love the way you make me feel. Keep up the good works Chris.

[@debbieswitzer6577]

Congratulations! And thank you. ❤️ No greater love

[@gingerkirsch9222]

[@williampinkard4675]

Howdy from the Lungsfords in Missouri 😊

[@dollyprogers5621]

Love you 🎉

[@bobkmac]

Post the whole show!!

[@gamenrage5998]

You have to respect what he is saying keeping himself free of the corruption that ties a lot of people into it using money and power over the person and even with the many evil promise of rich's and fame you have to know that is what only should come from doing it right and not giving into what they really want to make you be.

[@toddclark332]

Cangarts Anthony ❤😁👍💪🇱🇷

[@user-mm3fz6hs9e]

I have got to say "ALL THE GOOD ONES SWEAT!" Reminds me of another GREAT, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN. He sweated a lot too. You will be a great one too. God Bless You Chris!!

[@imtrippymaine5440]

Funny, I’d bet more than half that crowd here in Nashville are the type of people you wrote “RMNOR” about 🧐

[@dale3754]

Yep, Hollywood Light

[@freedomfries6618]

Leave him alone. He is dealing with all that and more, and from what I've heard and seen, it hasn't been easy for him. I don't know how sudden fame could be east for anyone.

[@carolynpeisert218]

They are not criticizing him...they are stating the fake that over runs this world.

[@SnowQuaker]

Didn’t see any senators in there boy

[@imtrippymaine5440]

@@SnowQuaker you were personally there? 🧐

[@HighGradeTexan]

Hate I missed you at the Houston Rodeo. ITS SUCH A NITEMARE COMING AND GOING I HAD TO PASS.

[@denniscallahan6005]

RUSTED BED ❤

[@adams1625]

Rock me mama like a wagon wheel rock me mama I mean people like me and people like you

[@arthurgay5746]

The biggest difference between Oliver Anthony and Taylor Swift is not the exact number of fans each one has but who they actually are. Oliver's fans are the hardest working back bones of the country and swifties are powder puffs all about getting the best selfies !!!

[@nottacoppa]

Really hope you don't get bad off on drugs and you'll keep putting out anthems

[@elaineoliver1291]

Oliver Anthony should have a conversation with Hank iii

[@citizenplane5840]

Him.using his grandfather's name as his stage name tells you everything you need to know about him.

[@dalejones8541]

He didn't get the attention with a cell phone. Nobody knew him until Radiowv did a video with him

[@scottpittsinger1654]

see corruption amiss!

[@ibbylancaster8981]

Man, think about what was going on about 9 months ago and the whirlwind that you have gotten into.

[@pjgme]

Saying your not religious can be the most Christian statement made. Religion ain't going to get you in, many will fall because of it. Thet bible, the Word he was holding will certainly get you in if you hear the truth.

[@angeleyes7417]

Its bot a blue collar anthem. Its a all americian soal and heart song

[@Allagi22]

You can't be one foot in and one foot out boy. Either you is or you ain't.

[@jorgevial131]

This song is a world wide hymn about middle class exploitation by the political class.

[@Adjust-Fire-jy3dy]

I'm sure he's a good guy. But honestly a one hit wonder. There have been many songs about the struggles of the working man and his is just one for the modern times.

[@afri-can7739]

Come perform my wedding in Nigeria......find you good wife..,...straight, I pay. Come

[@scottpittsinger1654]

[@user-dt2uj2pw3z]

Hope he doesn't sell out like Chris Stapleton

[@MFaith777]

How did Chris Stapleton sell out?

[@pattiblount2046]

I was under the impression that you were a Christ follower, Chris. You’re not?

[@MainforyoutubeSavage-cz2co]

You have always talked about your religion and have read the Bible! But when you get to the opry you play it down? Saying your not that religious??? What’s more important to you? Fame or your soul son???

[@MFaith777]

There’s a difference between institutional religion and being a follower of Jesus.
